Makariev monastery
Description:
It is not so easy to get to Makarievsky Holy Ascension Monastery! After the highway, you need a few kilometers to go along Sviyagi along a country road just a few steps from the edge of the water. But the road is worth it! You will not see such sights in any guidebook! The majestic Island - the city appears in all its glory.
At the end of the journey we will be in an amazing place. There, at the confluence of the Volga and Sviyaga on the ledge of a steep slope overgrown with forest, an Orthodox monastery has been located since the 1600s. Its prehistory goes back to the time of the early Kazan Khanate. According to legend, the Monk Macarius Zheltovodsky himself pointed to this place.
Peace and tranquility from this place. You can plunge into the holy spring of St. Macarius and collect water. Hear the history of the monastery, visit the temples and touch the shrines.
